EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative image of a street sausage seller, or 'marchande de saucisses,' in 18th century Paris. Dressed in the traditional costume of the era, complete with a voluminous skirt, apron, and a tall, conical wig, this vendor expertly tends to her brazier, carefully selecting plump, succulent sausages to offer to passersby. The aroma of sizzling meat wafts through the air, drawing the attention of hungry customers, who eagerly await their turn to purchase a savory snack. A loaf of crusty bread is artfully balanced on the seller's tray, ready to be used as a makeshift utensil for those on the go. This historical photograph, circa 1790, offers a glimpse into the rich and vibrant street life of Paris during the late 18th century. The street trades, such as this one, were a vital part of the city's economy and culture, providing sustenance and nourishment to the masses. The sausage seller's brazier, filled with sizzling meat, represents the simple pleasures of life and the enduring appeal of traditional, hearty foods. This image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Paris, who continued to find joy and nourishment in the simple things, even during challenging times. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a treasure trove of historical detail and a reminder of the rich culinary heritage of France. It invites us to explore the history of food and the role it plays in shaping the cultural fabric of a city and its people.
